"We are in the studio, still working towards a noisy, messy, 'unreasonably colourful' album to play LIVE... which is where U2 lives. We still look to vivid rock n roll as an act of resistance against all this awfulness on our small screens."
"With Easter Lily we ended up asking very personal questions like: Are our own relationships up to these challenging times? How hard do you fight for friendship? Can our faith survive the mangling of meaning that those algorithms love to reward?"
"From the rite of Spring to Easter and its promise of rebirth and renewal... Patti Smith's album Easter gave me so much hope when it was released in 1978. I wasn't yet 18. The title is a nod to her."
U2 has released a new six-song EP titled Easter Lily, their second EP in two months. Unlike the Days of Ash EP, which addressed chaotic external events, Easter Lily focuses on personal themes such as friendship, loss, hope, and renewal. Bono emphasized the band's ongoing work towards a vibrant album and the importance of digging deeper into personal lives for inspiration. The EP raises questions about relationships, faith, and the search for meaning amidst chaos, drawing inspiration from Patti Smith's 1978 album Easter.
